4th of July parade

All dressed for the parade. "Let's go!"
Grandpa's fire truck. We call it "Big Red" And she makes an appearance 3 times a year for the 4th of July, the Fair and the Christmas parades.

Every little boy wants to have their own fire engine...right?
Daddy's 1970 Buick Riviera "ooooh aaaah!" or as Kylie calls it "The BIG Green Car"

Waving to the crowd.

It was a GREAT parade...weather was HOT HOT HOT and lots of people still made it out. The streets were lined all the way down. We left right afterward and went camping for two nights at the lake. Then Kylie and I came home to the coolness of our house and a shower (AND more importantly the circus...pictures to follow). While Mark stayed out two more nights to do some "Male bonding!" Grunt grunt urp!

Did I forget to mention that it's been HOT HOT HOT and with no end in sight (90-100's!)! Thank goodness we have this old A/C from my dad that's getting a BIG workout.
